Does anybody know how to change the default sources folder in Netbeans 7.1.2
I've looked through the files but can't seem to locate where the default directory is stored - I have been through the forums but can't find anything useful..?
currently C:\Users\wayne\Documents\NetBeansProjects\PhpProject7
I have read that if you select a different directory then that becomes the default - this is not the case on my installation
Thanks
If you are using Windows 7 or vista, you are gonna find it here C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.1.2\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\projectui.properties.
However if you you are using windowsXP remember the USERPROFILE enviromental variable is not Users but rather Documents and Settings. Enviromental variables change depending on the operating system you are using. To know whats the USERPROFILE variable for yours just open a command prompt window and type SET USERPROFILE. Or you can simply type %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\$ENTER_YOUR_NETBEANS_VERSION_NUMBER_HERE\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\projectui.properties and that will send you to the correct directory.
It's actually pretty simple.
"C:\Users\wayne\.netbeans\7.1.2\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules there is a file called projectui"
is right on the money, but he forgot one detail that you need to keep in mind for changing the directory. If you want to set the default project folder to (in my case):
"C:\Program Files\glassfish-3.1.2.2\glassfish\domains\domain1\docroot"
then you have to double the slashes. Instead of the above link you have to put:
"C:\\Program Files\\glassfish-3.1.2.2\\glassfish\\domains\\domain1\\docroot"
without spaces. I had it that way originally but it hid one of each of them.
In newer versions, right-click on the project you want to move in the 'Projects' tab, and then click 'Move'. This will allow you to move the project to a new directory.
Tip! I found (on Windows 7) that the AppData folder is hidden, so doesn't appear in windows explorer files by default .
To make it visible, open a window for the USERPROFILE directory as above, and use
Organize ->
Folder and Search Options ->
View (tab) ->
Advanced settings list ->
Hidden files and folders radio button to show them.
(Or you can open it via search or run if you type it right)
I hope that saves you the several hours it cost me...

I am trying to open files using a specified executable; just like as if you were to right mouse click on a file then scroll to "Open with"
I tried what kaymaf said and reviewed the docs, but I cannot seem to get this to work.
Dim FI As New FileInfo(GetFileNameFromListViewItem(ListViewCollection.SelectedItems(0)))
Dim GetExif As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Users\*username*\Downloads\exiftool.exe", FI.FullName)
This just ends up open the executable and rather than opening the file with the executable.
You would like to open a file with your program using the Windows context menu; and do you want to get an entry in that menu? If that is not correct, the answer can be deleted.
I found this in a German forum, and they refer to this site:
This is the translated text:
One possibility would be that you register your file extension and your program in the system to open this file extension. As soon as the system knows everything, you only need to right-click on the file(s) and in the context menu, in addition to the standard entries, another menu item for opening these files is displayed. If you select this menu item, your program will start automatically if it has not yet started, and you can read out / determine the path to this file or several files in your program and process it accordingly. How it all works is described here: ookii.org/Blog/opening_files_via_idroptarget_in_net
On this page there is also a sample for download (start text files with your own program via an additional entry in the context menu / display paths to the files). It is not a VB, but it should be translatable without any problems. Corresponding information on the page and the comments should be observed.
When I click open or new project PhpStorm shows the way to C:\User\Myname. Tell me how to change this to C:\xamp\www ?
There is no GUI for that.
PhpStorm should remember last used folder (when you successfully created new project) and use it by default for next one (does for me; although I'm using the same path since v1 .. maybe this was broken since then).
If it does not and if you have brave heart .. you can edit config file directly :)
Close IDE
Open this file in any text editor: C:\Users\USERNAME\.WebIde80\config\options\ide.general.xml (path is for PhpStorm v8 on Windows 7; for other OS/versions please see this link: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23358108-Directories-used-by-the-IDE-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs )
File is very short -- just find <option name="lastProjectLocation" node and edit value attribute -- put desired path there
Save changes, Launch IDE and see if it worked for you.
I'm using Phpstorm7 on mac. When I open one less file, Phpstorm tells me that it can be watched, so I just allow it to be watched. However, I want to compile this less file to another directory, instead of the same directory.
Saying, I need compile sites/all/themes/bic/less/style.less to sites/all/themes/css/style.css.
After a long research, it seems I need to edit some file watcher, but I can't find such file watcher stuff anywehre in Phpstorm7. There's no such 'File watcher' setting when I go to 'File' => 'Default Settings' in Phpstorm7. Now I can't stop this less from compiling either.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
File | Default Settings is for settings that will be applied to the brand new projects.
All settings (both IDE-wide as well as project specific) are located in the same place as every other Mac program does -- it's called "Preferences" (which you should now where to find, since you are a Mac user).
PhpStorm v7.x has a feature called Search Everywhere (Shift 2 times or by clicking on corresponding icon in toolbar) -- it searches trough settings/preferences as well.
My files are all saved in C:\users\xxx. I want them in a different place by default. I've tried selecting the project name and bringing up the properties window but there is no place to change the default location. Anyway, if I save files to E:\VB, I'll get a set of folders like: E:\VB\test1\test1\bin\debug. Why not E:\VB\Test1 ????
How do I change the VB.NET default file location to E:\VB from C:\users\xxxx ???

You're asking about a large number of different features / settings.
You can change the default save location in Tools, Options, Projects and Solution
You probably want to uncheck the Create folder for solution checkbox when creating a project
You created a new project. If you do Save All, it will prompt for a save location. Change that to match your preference and this new location will be used by VS from now on.
My XULRunner application has a button named "Show Recordings". Pressing it should result in Windows Explorer opening the folder for the user. How can I achieve this?
I can't find it in the File I/O documentation, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.
Edit
The problem is not finding the path, but telling the system to open the folder. I can't seem to find a "openFolder" function.
You're looking for the reveal() method on nsILocalFile.
Do you mean:
%HOMEPATH%
And by that I mean, if you want a global variable to get the current user's home directory path, use %HOMEPATH%. I guess you have to set that button to this value. For a list of Windows environment variables, start at the wiki article.
